Bump Update - 17 Weeks

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!  I carved painted a pumpkin for work and it won 3rd place.  Boo-ya!  Now it has a new home on our front porch...it was a big hit on Halloween night.  

Also, my friend Dana and I dressed up as Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble for our office party.  We won first place.  Double, boo-ya!  

And yes...I did put make-up on my feet to make them look 'dirty'

Geoff and I laid pretty low on Halloween nigh, we just handed out some candy to some kiddos and watched re-runs of Duck Dynasty.  That show only gets funnier with time.  :)  Here's a pet peeve of mine...when children (the tiny ones get a free pass) don't 'Thank You' after you give them candy.  It's easy my friends, it's EASY! 

How far along? 17 weeks
Baby Size: Onion - 5.1 inches and 5.9 oz.
Total weight gain: Closer to 8lbs.  Ahh...I feel like I'm gaining too much weight.  But the books keep telling me I'm in the range.  :)
Maternity clothes? Belly band, some maternity jeans and leggings with dresses are go-to right now.
Stretch marks?  Still lathering up with Palmer's Cocoa Butter every night. 
Sleep: I picked up a head cold a few days ago...ugh...so sleeping has been a little hit or miss.  I'm tired to say the least.   
Best moment this week: Realizing that time time next year we'll have a 6 month old baby for Halloween!  OMG...soo exciting!
Miss Anything? Missing my Italian sandwich again.  Haha.  I went to Subway on Halloween to pick up something quick and got a steak and cheese sandwich, which was delish, but deep down I wanted my Italian BMT! 
Movement: Every once in a blue moon I feel a little something.  It's not consistent, which they say is normal this early in pregnancy.  But it's exciting when I do feel a little butterfly in my belly. 
Food cravings:  Still loving my fruit snacks...oh and have you ever had coconut roasted almonds?  To. die. for. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, not lately. 
Gender:  This week I'm thinking I shouldn't have jumped on the GIRL bandwagon so fast...now I'm leaning towards BOY again.  Oh goodness, hurry up November 20th!   
Symptoms:  My back is a little funky...sitting/standing/walking for a long period of time is just uncomfortable.  I've also been getting leg cramps in the middle of the night, too.  OUCH! 
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Pretty good.  Just really annoyed with this head cold.  I want it to go away, but there's not a whole heck of a lot I can take...so head cold it is to protect the little pumpkin.
Looking forward to:  Getting closer to that point where we can really start shopping for baby and putting the nursery together.  Yea!
